Thanks matey, he's de-thomased now but the elephant should be good and of course, we are hoping Frank will continue to perform well and be re-themed again for 2012 and beyond  :y

Well, the weather put pay to our plan to re-paint Frank this weekend but we got a bit of stripping down done in between showers and painted the wheels so we could see what the new base colour (satin green) was like.

Up he goes...



Up in the air and sporting the "abandoned car" look..



Lights out for paint...





Masked up the wheels



On with the paint..



Dries satin..



On the car...



I have a tailgate and the missing trim arriving this week so weather permitting we should have Frank fully satin green soon!
